The stems are a little purple, i added some epsom salt to the water though because i read that it might be a magnesium deficiency but im not sure ?_? or maybe a phosphorous deficiency? can someone help me here?
"Magnesium. Mg deficiencies frequently occur in soilless mixtures, since many otherwise all-purpose fertilizers do not contain Mg. Mg deficiencies also occur in mixtures that contain very large amounts of Ca or Cl. Symptoms of Mg deficiency occur first on the lower leaves. There is chlorosis of tissue between the veins, which remain green, and starting from the tips the blades die and usually curl upward. Purple color builds up on stems and petioles."
"Phosphorus. P deficiency is characterized by slow and sometimes stunted growth. Leaves overall are smaller and dark green; red color appears in petioles and stems. The leaves may also develop red or purple color starting on the veins of the underside of the leaf. Generally the tips of most of the leaf blades on the lower portion of the plant die before the leaves lose color. Lower leaves slowly turn yellow before they die. Remedy with any soluble P-containing fertilizer. Affected leaves do not show much recovery, but the plant should perk up, and the symptoms do not progress."
other than that i think it looks nice, its about 3-4 weeks and is under a 40 watt cfl bulb for 18 hrs a day, im going to try to get more bulbs for it later on.
advise pls!!
